In illustrated diary format, the hilarious tale of a boy who is a stellar swimmer—not! Swimming is just like flying, son! I can't fly either, Dad. You'll love swimming, Marcus! Marcus is a math whiz who is not good at sports. But his dad, a self-help author, is convinced otherwise. Just when Marcus hopes his dad had finally run out of sports for him to try, he discovers a new one—in water. Let's get a few things straight: Marcus is not a fish. Marcus is not a turtle. Marcus is an ordinary boy. He will not love to swim!
